West Indies has been recently doing well against
Bangladesh..
Since 2018..either series win or draw... Stuart Law, Ice-cream man,Coley 1-1,Dammy...
last three series vs Pakistan had been 1-1 under different coaches... Ice-cream man,Coley away & Dammy.....
Against Sri Lanka...the home victory did come after long time... earlier it Law 1-1, Ice-cream man 0-0,Dammy 1-0.
These very posters, who are berating others for belittle the called success of Dammy.....for years making demeaning comments even after victory against England at home... victory vs Australia away.... victory vs Pakistan away....
Archives, Archives.....
We should start preparing for Qualification....this time around only West Indies will be Full member participant......
So much for success after three years as Head Coach and Sole selector.....

When last have we gone a calendar year unbeaten in a series??? Hint it was in the 90's.

You have to beat 4-8 before you could start to beat 1-3.

I support my pardner Pondie

I will be cautious about claiming progress until it is measurable. Feelings and appearances are for Nancies. Humans are notoriously bad at predicting statistics.

keep fooling some of the people some of the time.

Bingo we have a winner! 32 years ago! The Author of this thread should be ashamed of himself. Perhaps he is the elusive 'Blunder Factory'.

How is it defeatist ??? If you are at 9 in the ranking don't you first got to get past 8, 7 ,6 ,5. Master those first then we will move to the top tier RSA, OZ, ENG and NZD.

Take you time think, i know it does hurt you head.

Pondie ....You posted your opinion, yet.....
This is a massive over-intellectualization of a very simple fact.Writing a psychological profile on a fellow forum members because they aren't throwing a parade for beating Bangladesh is peak delusion. Talk about refuge.
They want to talk about 'overwhelming evidence'? The evidence says we're #6 playing #8. Beating Bangladesh at home doesn't mean we’ve cracked the 'nuance and complexities' of modern cricket,it just means we beat a Tier 2 team. Pulling out a dictionary won't magically bump us back into the elite tier.
Accusing others of insularity while claiming a series win against Bangladesh is some grand proof of West Indies' rebirth. The irony is palpable. We played our level, we won, great. Stop trying to turn a standard cricket debate into a philosophical crisis just because you can't handle a realistic critique.
Ignore their rass.

excellent summary, peak delusion indeed ,he proved my point that the bar was low !!! that he had the temerity to call me insular in the face of the most overwhelming evidence of insularity ever in the affairs of our cricket is very telling

who is the solipsist? it was none other than the one who sought to enlighten us with his new word.

Sarge what can I say in his rush the cheeky boy and keyboard warrior revealed his very solipsistic nature smile
